Behold your quest is ended,
And the new land, str&nsre and snlendid.
No longer lurinj. from afar, is firm beneath

And the way is free before ye,
The skies unclouded o'er ye.
And the past is dust and darkness, and the

Raise your cross and raise your altar
Why pale ye thus and falter?

THE CHILDHOOD OF A POET.
Incidents and Iteniinlfl?enees Qt
Alfred Tennyson' Childhood.
Harper's Magazine.
Alfred Tennyson was born oa the Cth
of August, 180'J.: He has heard many
and manv a voic calling to him since
the time when he listened to the wind
as ho played alone in Jiis father's gar
den, or joined the other children at
their games and jousts. They were a
noble little clan of poets and of knights,
coming of a knightly race, with castles
to defend, with mimic tournaments to
fight. Somersby was so far away from
the world, so behindhand in its echoes
(which must have come there softened
through all manner of green and tran
quil things, and as it were hushed into
pastoral silence), that though the early
part of the century was stirring with
the clang of legions, few of its rumors
seem to have reached the children.
They never heard at the time of the
battle of Waterloo. They grew up to
gether playing their own games, living
their own life, and where is such life to
be found as that of a happy, eager fam
ily of boys and girls before doubt, the
steps of time, the shocks of chance, the
blows of death, have come to shake their
creed?
These handsome children had beyond
most children that wonderous toy at
their command which some people call
imagination. The boys played great
games like Arthur's knights ; they were
champions and warriors defending a
stone hee-p ; or, again, they would set up
opposing camps w ith a king in the midst
of each. The king was a willow wand
stuck into the ground, with an outer
circle of immortals to defend kirn of
firmer, stiffer sticks. Then each party
would come witli stones, hurling at
each other's king and trying to over
throw him. Perhaps as the day wore
on they became romancer:, leaving the
jousts deserted. When dinner-time
came, and they all sat round the table,
each in turn put a chapter of his history
underneath the potato-bowl long, end
less histories, chapter after chapter dif
fuse, absorbing, unenJing, as are the
stories of real life, of which each sun
rise opens on a new pa-1 Some of
these romances were in letters, like
"Clarissa Harlowe." Alfred .used to
tell a story which lasted for nionths.and
which was called "The Old Horse.
. Alfred's first verses, as I once heard
him say, were written upon a slate w Inch
his brother Charles put into his hand
one Sunday at Louth, when all the
elders of the party were going into
church and the child was left alone.
Charles gave him a snbje t the flowers
in the garden and when he came
back from church little Alfred brought
the slate to his brother all covered with
written lines of blank verso. They
were made on the model of Thomson's
Seasons" tl e only poetry he had ever
read. One can pictnre it all to oue s
self, the flowers in the gurlen, the
verses, tbe little poet with waiting eyes
and the young brother scanning the
lines. "Yes, yon can write," said
Charles, and he gave Alfred back the
slate.
I have also heard another story of his
grandfather, later on, asking him to
write an elfgy on his grandmother, who
had receutly died, an l, when it was
written, putting ten shillings into his
hands and Baying: "There, that is the
first money you have ever earned by
your poetry, and, take my word for it,
wwin ue me unt.

Silas Wright before he became in
temperate, was a great wag. On , one
occasion he was a member of the state
senate of New York w ith Gen. Erastus
Boot. Gen. Boot was foad of personal
display in his dress, One morning he
came to the senate with buff breeches,
whi'e silk stockings, knee and shoe
buckles. Gov. Wright bet a bottle of
wine that he could make the general go
home and take off tLe breaches, and pat
on plain pantaloons without speaking to
him on the subject. It seemed to be a
very fearful risk but to the serjueL
The governor stepped up to the general,
and taking him kindly by the hand,
said : "Good morning, general, then,
turn'ng his eyes upon the buff breeches,
and looking them over for a minute.
"How do you do?" then, re-csaming the
breeches with a quizzi?al look, paying
no attention to what the governor said,
but continuing his remark, now a word,
then a look at the breeches. The gen
eral at length left abruptly, was absent
some minutes, and returned dressed in
a plain pair of black pantaloons. The
wine was drunk with a hearty laugh, in
which the general joined.

A Long Island doctor has a skeleton
hanging in a closet in his office, and
when a book agent comes in "he touches
a button near his desk, the doop of the
closet flies open with a bang, and the
unwelcome solicitor find at his elbow
the rattling, loose-join ted,1 musty re
mains of a human being.1 If the Long
Island book agent is fr'ghtened at such
a sight, he is no honor to the western
members of his craft. One of the
latter would probably undertake to
prove' to' the doctor that the late owner
of the skeleton would havo been a well
and happy mm to-day if he had only
subscribed to his historical and literary

Three methods have been proposed
for heating the Brooklyn (N. Y.) bridge
cars, and, after a trial of each, the best
method will be adopted. The first
method is by the use of chemicals in
iron pipes. This method would cost
$240 per car. The second method is to
put up similar pipes filled with heated
salt water, which would cost $175 per
car, and - the third method is to have
stoves suspended under the cars, and
surrounded by wrought iron pipes, cir
culating hot water through the cars.
This would cost $200 per car.

am an epitome of injuries. With this
there is a great deal of nervous irritability,

and loss of appetite, or rather was until I
commenced taking the Life Essencesince
which time, when I take it, I sleep better
than for years, have a better appetite, and
am not troubled with palpitation, aiy
sexual system is entirely restored, and
conseouentlv have lost my melancholy,

feel a return of mental and physical force

A great many people feel themselves
gradually failing. They don't know just
what is the matter, but they suffer from a
combination of indescribable aches and
pains, which each month seem to grow
worse. The only sure remedy known that
will counteract this ieellng and restore
perfect health is Brown's Iron Bitters. By
rapid assimilation it purifies the blood,
drives out disease, gives health and
strength to every portion reached by the
circulatory system, renews wasted tissues
and restores robust health and strength.
Dujardin's Life Essence gives brain force
and vital energy.
; It is astonishing the number of intelli
gent people who regard a cold or cough as
a trivial matter, something unnecessary to
pay attention to. How many times have
you heard the expression, "O, nothing the
matter, only a slight cold." Yes, my
friend, and nine-tenths of the many thou
sand consumptives who walk the earth to
day doomed to a premature death, said the
same thing. We pay attention to a cold,
and promptly, too. Our remedy is Am
men's Cough Syrup; some other prepara
tions are good, but we have found it by far
the best.
Dujardin's Life Essence positively cures
